Re: [school-discuss] SchoolTool Calendar 0.10 Released



Ed:

I'm really interested in doing in the US what you have done.  

I want to call it "100 days, 100 schools."  We have a big enough list
here of people that I think we could pull it off if we could find a
corporate sponsor.

Keep in touch with me, if you would, should you have any brainstorms.
